Biography
I grew up in Columbus, Georgia and graduated from Shaw High School and then Columbus College before it was called Columbus State University. I received my law degree from Mercer University in Macon in 1995. I've been practicing now for over 20 years. My experience includes criminal defense as a prosecutor (2 years) and as a defense attorney (18 years). I have handled every kind of case from speeding to murder and everything in between. I will represent you to the best of my ability and will treat you with the respect and compassion that you deserve.

He has been an invaluable resource to me to bounce ideas off of, and his advice is always spot-on. You would do well to hire him."

"I am very pleased to have the opportunity to endorse Jose Guzman on AVVO. I’ve observed Jose in court on many occasions and I believe him to be an exceptional criminal defense attorney. It’s clear to me that he takes the time to get to know his clients and the facts of their respective cases. Jose comes to court prepared and thinks quickly on his feet whenever unexpected issues arise. It’s obvious to me that judges respect him for the tenacious manner in which he represents his clients. Do not hesitate to hire Jose for any criminal matter, especially if you are in need of a bilingual attorney that speaks fluent Spanish."
